The third match of the Maharashtra Premier League (MPL 2025) will see Ratnagiri Jets (RJ) take on Puneri Bappa (PB) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
Ratnagiri Jets enter this contest on the back of a loss to Eagle Nashik Titans (ENT) in the season opener.

Both sides will look to capitalise on the batting-friendly conditions and set the tone for their campaigns.
